I've gotten a few more since this older pictures like the Halo ones and the Ace Combat and some Saint's Row's ones.
Feel free to PM if you have any others that you are willing to sell (I'm not trading)
Are you giving any away, by chance?
I am really poor :(
Actually, I DO have 3 extra Saint's Row ones and about a dozen Outfit ones.... ;)Quote:

Ooooh, you've got a couple there that I need. The yellow lava lamp one, and The Outfit. Where did you get the Outfit ones, a regular store like Best Buy? I've been afraid to get The Outfit, Quake 4 and Call of Duty 2 because there's a huge number of bootlegs out there of those three specific plates.
I've got a number of Saints Row plates too. I just figured I'd use them as bases for customs.
Outfit was free at EB at launch, and since I have a manager friend, I was given enough... ;)Quote:

do you just sand/peel off the 'label' and use that as a base?
If you got the Outfit plates at an EB, hang onto one for me because I want to work a deal out with you.
I sand the plates down just enough to get the shiny part off so the primer has something to grab onto. That is, unless it's one of those Pelican plates, then I totally sand off that logo because it doesn't lay flat. :(
Can someone tell me why you would want to make boot leg faceplates?
Also, if I were to want to paint my xbox, what type of paint would stick best?
Some plates that are limited and they only make say 500 or so, they go for big money on Ebay.....so bootleg one, sell it, and voila.Quote:

I don't recommend painting your Xbox directly. If you paint it with the case assembled, you risk getting paint inside the vents and hurting the guts. You also 100% void your warranty. MS won't touch it with a ten foot pole if it's painted. Same deal with opening the console. Instant voided warranty. Plus, opening the box is considered modding, which isn't permissible to discuss in these forums. (Not to mention that I'm totally anti-mod).Quote:

Or you could do what I did with the original Xbox. I found an empty case, decorated it as I liked and displayed it. (It was DOAX Skins, BTW :) I displayed it with my other DOA stuff.)
Variation, what is the plate you're holding with all the signatures? I hope to get a definitive catalog of all corporate plates. There are already a couple of sites that have something similar, like www.lowdown411.com. I'd rather partner with them and work something out than try to reinvent the wheel.
I don't mod either (I am too stupid), but I would really like to paint my xbox anyway. I have already had it refurbed, and it works fine... besides, my warranty is about to expire anyways, so I will pay them to fix it if it ****s up again.Quote:

And if anyone knows what the best type of paint to use on the side (I will probably just be using a brush set), I would really appreciate it.
I've never removed a case. Like I said, that gets into modding and I'm against that. One kid gets electrocuted and I'd feel horrible. Just don't do it. Find another way.Quote:

They won't accept the responsibility when they have no idea what YOU might have done to the inside of the box. They'll see that it's been opened, and mail it right back to you.
Most of the Red Vs Blue Guys, Gabe and Tycho from Penny Arcade, the Band from Optimus Rhyme, the producer from Table Tennis, and someone else I cant remember at the moment.Quote:
